Is it okay if i let crickets grow in my savs enclousure?I am buying a box of 500 crickets and they lay eggs all over the enclousure.I am not sure if this is harmful to my savy or if its okay for me to raise and feed them in there.There are alot of baby crickets in there, they are the size of little ants and they arent very hard to spot because of there population.

Juan,
I would not allow the crickets to breed or to grow inside the same enclosure as your monitor. With that many insects crawling around, defecating, and feeding, you run a greater chance of harboring parasites in that tank and making it generally unhealthy for the monitor. If the crickets do not have enough food in their tank or even if they do, they may resort to munching on the monitor. For the health and safety of your monitor, I would remove the crickets.
Good luck, my friend,
Matthew Schaefer
